Purpose: This study aimed to identify the activities of daily living of the elderly in day and night care facilities and the nursing needs of the elderly and caregivers.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 90 elderly people and their caregivers, who lived in B and G cities used day and night care facilities. The collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient using the SPSS 25.0 program.
Results: Caregivers have a higher awareness of nursing needs than the elderly. Both the elderly and their caregivers had the highest informational nursing requirements. There was a positive correlation between the activities of daily living of the elderly and physical nursing needs of caregivers, and there was also a positive correlation among the nursing needs in each area.
Conclusion: These results suggest that day and night care facilities should provide customized nursing services by assessing the activities of daily living of the elderly and the nursing needs of the elderly and caregivers by area before establishing a nursing plan. This will enable them to provide effective nursing services for elderly people. In addition, we propose research to develop a nursing information program for the elderly and caregivers.
